I ordered some guacamole to go with my chips for a starter. I enjoyed it, but, a word of caution--their guacamole has more jalapeños in it than most Mexican restaurants I've been to all over America. Still, I liked it and ate it all. For the main course I went off the reservation, ordering something that wasn't on the menu, cheese enchiladas. I chose the green tomatillo sauce and the enchiladas were better than most. I'm a bit spoiled, coming from San Diego where the Mexican food is authentic, but this was definitely better than most places make. It's got a beautiful mural on the wall. I personally wouldn't have chosen to have the large TV playing MMA bouts, but it wasn't my restaurant.

The cheese enchiladas I ordered. They normally also include rice, but I told them I didn't need that.

My wife and I were in town for a soccer match (winners!) and needed a late lunch. Our normal go-to…read morespot in Seymour, Larrison's Diner, was closed because it was after 2:00 in the afternoon so we needed something new. Our first choice was a little fish sandwich shop that looked a bit different, but after they turned out to be closed that day we went across the street to San Marcos. And holy heck am I glad we did! It looks like a typical Mexican place inside - bright colors, decor from the same restaurant supply store every Mexican restaurant seems to use, but with the addition of what I would consider the 'nightclub section' with a dance floor, multiple lighting effects and a big video board. It was early afternoon, so obviously that area wasn't in use but I bet it's an interesting place after dark! Service was great - quick to the table, easy refills on everything. My wife ordered the Chimichanga and I went against my norms and did the 'create your own' platter and chose three items: Burrito, Chimi, and another Chimi. This was strategic because USUALLY when you see a 'create your own' that means tiny sized items - half a burrito, half a chimi, etc. - figured I wanted more chimi than burrito. Seems they don't do that here. My platter was HUGE. Full-sized beef burrito, delish. TWO full-sized beef chimichangas. Also delish. Plus beans and rice. I even did something I never do: Asked for a box to take an entire chimichanga home with us. Wife loved hers as well. This is a must-repeat. In fact, Larrison's may be the past and this place is my future the next time I'm in Seymour. Which is likely never, but if we are anywhere nearby, we'd make a side trip to eat here again.

If we lived in Seymour I'd be here weekly. To start, the chips were just made and the accompanying salsa had a delightfully different flavor. Together just perfect. I had the Shrimp Vera Cruz which was shrimp and sliced potatoes in a nicely spiced red sauce and served with a salad and rice. My wife ordered the Carnitas Street Tacos served with rice and refried beans. The carnitas were perfectly grilled. The taco shells were also so fresh. Our server was very attentive and friendly throughout our meal.

The granddaughter was our server, and she was very helpful to us explaining the dishes. I asked about the drinks, pineapple water in particular, and she offered to give me a sample taste. I ordered the largest they had. Oh, did I mention they make their drinks? They also offer a variety of sodas. The menu is homemade and very good. I had sopes, something I had never tried. Wonderful. The meal starts with chips, salsa and guacamole. The salsa and guacamole are homemade with a little kick. A variety of squirt on sauces come for the meal. I prefer the crema, but there is also green sauce or red sauce. If that isn't enough there or hot sauces where the napkins are kept. My husband had three steak tacos, and he liked them. I have eaten at many Mexican restaurants over the years, but this one had that homey feel. The menu has pictures and the prices are very affordable. I know we will be back. The dress code is informal, casual. This restaurant is downtown in Seymour and according to the granddaughter they have been there for twelve years.

Morales Antojitos Mexicanos

The BEST Mexican food I have EVER had! I have traveled across the country including California and…read morethe Southwest, but this by far was the best food for the best price. The staff were friendly (only spoke a little English), but ordering was super easy. The enchiladas were spicier than normal (both verde and rojo sauces), but it left a good flavor behind. The tortillas were homemade and filled with the tastiest, moistest shredded chicken I've had in an enchilada. It was topped with the sauce, shredded lettuce, cojita cheese, some sort of crema sauce, and sliced onions upon request. The chips and salsa served when we sat were fresh and homemade to perfection. The restrooms were recently remodeled and immaculate beyond belief. When you enter the restaurant, continue through the small shop and ice cream parlor to the back where you can order food at the table or to-go. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu! If I could give them more stars, I would.
